Correct Answer:

Firor said the world might eventually have to cut its carbon dioxide production by half in order to stabilize the gas in the atmosphere but that this might not happen until the world had already warmed an average of 4 or 5 degrees Fahrenheit, an increase that still could have significant and perhaps catastrophic effects. In fact, scientists say it might even be necessary to reduce emissions by as much as 90 percent to reverse warming and to restore the climate to that of pre-industrial times before man-made carbon dioxide began accumulating in the atmosphere. -William Booth -What is Booth analyzing in this paragraph?

Question 3

Correct Answer:

Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

Without the context of the essay by Brooks, it's impossible to provide specific causes and effects involved in "fake fear" and real fear. However, generally speaking, "fake fear" might be caused by misinformation, imagination, or manipulation and its effects could include unnecessary anxiety, paranoia, or harmful actions based on false beliefs. Real fear, on the other hand, is typically caused by actual threats or dangers and its effects could range from immediate physical responses (like fight or flight) to long-term psychological impacts (like trauma or phobias). Please refer to the specific essay for Brooks' exact arguments and examples.
